OK...

Jesus Christ was an illegitimate and unwanted child...

It was thrown in his face as an adult, "We know who our father is!"

Yet... his mother cherished him... even though she didn't understand him...

My salute to Mary for carrying and caring...

My salute to Joseph for staying...

Would that we could all find the heart of this virgin mother.

Would that we all had the opportunity of a Joseph in our lives.

Would that every conceived child had a chance...


Heavenly Father...

Why?

Why the pressure to reject your gift of life?

How can we so callously just walk in
and with a few hundred dollars...
then walk away?
You know?
Just...walk away?

What could we ever say...
that would turn a heart...
to hear the tiny heart...
beating.. .. ..

What do I pray here?

Mercy?
Rage?
Forgiveness?

Understanding?

I think I will never understand...
I am embarrassed, for I just don't understand.

I don't know what to do.
I don't know how to pray.
I don't know what to say.
